Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Tumbleweed is constantly getting updates, just as you expect it to be. Among the bigger updates in the last couple days you have probably seen: * Linux Kernel 3.19.0 * Mozilla Firefox 36 & Thunderbird 31.5 * CUPS 2.0 Of course many other packages, which have more or less visible impact, but make your system what it is, have also been updated, but listing them all is beyond reasonable (you can always consult the Changes.*.txt at http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/ ) What can you expect in the near future? * systemd 219! Many have been wondering why openSUSE has been stuck at system 210 (with a LOT of backported fixes) instead of leaping forward. The brave contributors bit the bullet and made it happen. It passed the first openQA steps (staging areas) but unfortunately did not (yet) make it through the full openQA suite. As soon as all the identified issues are fixed (next QA run happening shortly), the package will be integrated into the next snapshot. A bit further down the horizon are topics like GCC5 (still a lot of work happening, to ensure the full distribution builds) and also XFCE 4.12 has 'just been submitted' a couple hours ago. We'll keep you posted about more thins to happen. If there is anything you are MISSING in the repositories (be it new packages or just updates): it's always a good way to get started with contributions. As a rule of thumb: if you can install it from source, you can package it. -- Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
